Grover Cleveland has at last done

order to restore captured banners of
treason to the original traitors entities
eur Grover to wear the Ounce cap till
some more audacious blunderer
breaks the record. What seems most
remarkable is that the president
should have been SO densely stupid
as to make it necessary for such an
act as his contemplated fol y to reveal
to him that the spirit OF patriotism
still lives in American breasts; that
the principles for which our brave
soldiers spilled their life-blood are
something above a mere whim; that
the most valuable he itage left by
that awful war is the loyal spirit ii
has rooted and grounded in our
nation to ever confront and stamp
ont treason! True, the president
revoked his order, but not until it had
provoked howl of wrath and indig-
nation from every loyal state il the
Union. The lesson OF these events is
plain. 1t means that while our peo

The president can see no difference
between returning the recaptured
Union flags to their respective states
and returning the captured Confed-
crate fags TO their political heirs and
assignees; lie thinks it would not be
consistent with fraternal feeling to
return one set of flags and yet retain
the other. That is, the president
cannot sec why the idea of the Con-
federacy should not be treated as
cordially as the idea on which the
Union cause rested, and he would not
only take of his hat and shake hands
with Confederate veterans, but he
would cheerfully take off his hat and
as Justify shout for the idea of one
side as he would for the idea of the
other 1t is this fatal blindness to
the historic right and wrong of the
great conflict that dictated the action
OF the president which made the G..
A II, beat the long roll of alarm and
indignation in protest. The president
fails to understand that while lhe
Union veteran today clasps the hand
of the Confederate in warm fellow
ship, honoring him for the valor that
put up his life for his cause, for the
manly truth that makes him today
keep both the letter and spirit of his
oath, he cannot afford by equiyocal
conduct or expression to confuse the
two causes without making himself
the exponent Of false and dangerous
education. For the Southern man,
sick, suffering. sorrow stricken, the
Union soldier has an open hand, an
open heart and an open door, but to
the Southern idea, on which rested
the ark of the Gonfederacy the Union
soldier is and must ever be as cruel
and lnhospitable Us that vast grave
between the sections which their
hands filled with our gallant dead.
As for Adjutant-General Drum, who
appears to have squatted like a toad
at the presidents ear and to have
tempted him to this blunder, his cen.
duct is what might have been expect
ed of soldier who never smelt pow
der during the war, but was more
thah once breyeted for gallant and
distinguished services in the adjutant-
generals office at Washington. There
were number of these fellows Of
Southern sympathies, who would
have refused to serve in the field
against the Confederacy, and yet,
hating to resign soft place, salved
their consclences by refusing to take
up arms against the South while con
sentlng to be government quill drivers
IN ashington. Drum is the same
sort of red tape worm as the late
AdJutant-General Thomas, who be-
came, after the war, Andy Johnson's
obsequlous tool TO evict Stanton from
the war office. The loyalty of such
men was not a loyalty of ideas at all !;
1t was loyalty to place and salary in a
bomb proof. -Ex.

surpass in magnitude and grandeur the

The Piedmont section of the South will be
fully represented aud the Exposition will
hold for two weeks. The main features
Of the occasion may be briefly stated as
follows: President Cleveland and some
members of his cabinet will certainly be
there. This fact is advertised with his per
mission. The premium list covers $50, 600.
There is also over $4,000 in racing purses,
and 200 of the finest races in the country
will be there. There is So, 800 in military
prizes. There will be an cncampmcnt and
Il grand review by the President. The
pyrotcchnic display is guaranteed 10 be the
finest ever seen IN America except at the
opening of the Brooklyn bridge, and will
cost $4,000 for three nights. One of the
features will be Niagara Falls in fire works,
a living wall of light, 60 feet high and l5U
feet long. Atlanta spends $3.50, 600 on
grounds and buildings. The buildings
excel in beauty and size those of the cotton
exposition. Every day will be full of sport
and amusement for the crowd. The rail
roads will give reduced rates, certainly
round trip tickets, ut perhaps a cent 4
